I could ‘forget’ down to about 8th/9th as a ‘disappointing season’.
One space above relegation - notsomuch.
I just hope we win so the argument can carry on into eternity!

I feel like Ange will deserve to gloat and delivering a trophy is delivering a trophy. Particularly with our recent history and him saying he always wins one.
But to act like this will be a "success" or better than the sustained competitiveness Poch had is bonkers. Success isn't so binary and it's almost like part of our fanbase allowed all the "but they haven't won a trophy" naysayers to infiltrate our psyche. Have you really had more fun watching football this year? Than the years we went undefeated at home. Blasted the mid/bottom table teams, etc. I've barely been tuning into our PL games for months. Even the Europe league. Have we really had any great performances? Maybe 2-3 solid games where I felt proud of the team?
Ultimately this binary view of success is a fast-track to being a miserable prick and to some degree undermines why we watch and enjoy sports. I'll certainly remember the CL final run with our epic games against Man City and the comeback against Ajax more fondly. I'll remember beating RM at the Bernabeau. Blasting City in the league. Beating Woolwich to secure CL a few years ago. This will be more like "remember that crazy Europa league run we had when we were absolute sht?" Sports are ultimately all about enjoyment and memories and I can't say I've enjoyed this year very much. A trophy is just a representation of all that. Certainly it matters, particularly when you've had a hard time getting over the line, haven't won in a while, etc. It takes on a special get-over-the-hump feeling. But is anyone optimistic about the current squad and management? We are an absolute disaster in our overall form.

Him and his fan club
Just head the most wonderful description of our situation from a mate.
Think of Spurs as an Orchestra. Ange is the conductor.
When he took over, the Trumpet player Miles Davis left and was replaced by Roy Castle.
Jimi Hendrix on Guitar injured his finger, and the 17 year old drummer from a local school band was asked to step in, dispite never having played guitar before.
Nigel Kenedy on an extended break after a disastrous haircut, but it's ok, the owners have lined up Jedward to replace him.
The next few gigs weren't great, so they fired the conductor.

As long as fatcunt fucks off, his fannyboy fan club can say/do what they want to soothe and cope.
I just need him gone.
Let's face it, Postecoglou would be as shit an orchestral conductor as he is elite football manager, so it's understandable that they sacked him.
What you're saying is he should have been sacked ages ago. I agree.
These people, are they in the room with us right now?
You say this like it was Anges plan all along. People are rightly concerned because we are getting smashed week in week out relegation form and its only by chance that weve had a very easy cup run against european farmers that weve reached a final.
Poch reached a CL final with barcalona in our group, beating the likes of inter milan, Dortmund, Man City, an insane Ajax squad only to get an early penalty against us in the final and knocked out yet Poch still finished 4th and was sacked not long after.
Ange winning the EL means absolutely nothing in terms of where we are as a club and our future.
ah nice one tinktank. Day of the final, biggest game in 6 years. And your calling our manager a fat cunt
Been there and that’s why I drive to London to see our Son whenever possible
Like airline travel you’re usually treated like shite!
Why you're bothering with with them I don't know...
There's no space.
why don't you take a break from telling other supporters how to act and what they can say. ffs this shit has been going on for over a year. if i want to bitch about the shitty fat cunt manager i will. i seriously despise all you 'pure fans' more than ange at this point. just fuck off once and for all. it's a forum for fucks sake. this is where we come to discuss shit.
WTF is that ..ahem..joker chatting about? I am not "showing ignored content" today.
